Michael Bloomberg Shared The Reason Why He's Rich On The Radio This Morning

For almost a decade Michael Bloomberg has gotten on the radio
every Friday morning with John Gambling and told New Yorkers
exactly whatever is on his mind,
Politicker reports.

No really, if you've ever listened, Hizzoner's style is super
blunt to the point of making some people uncomfortable.

But he's fine with it. In fact, he told Gambling this morning in
one of both their final shows — Gambling is retiring and saying
goodbye along with the Mayor — that being blunt is the reason why
he's so rich.

I’ve always said to my kids, ‘You have to like what you see in
the mirror and you shouldn’t worry about what other people say,”
said Mr. Bloomberg, returning to a favorite topic during an
appearance this morning on his weekly WOR radio show with John
Gambling.

“Yes, you have to be nice and polite and there’s a common sense
and a sensitivity. You don’t insult people and that sort of
thing. But you’ve gotta do what you think is right … And in the
end, I’ve always believed that is a formula for success,” he
continued. ”People say, ‘Oh, you know, you’re wealthy
now, you have the luxury of saying things that you want to say.’
Um, how do you think I got wealthy? I really believe
that.”
